How to access Assembly Information in Asp.Net

How do you access the Assembly Information in Asp.Net (Title, Description, Company, etc.)? Do you have to use refle开发者_运维问答ction?

To read the information in the assembly level attributes (eg. AssemblyCopyrightAttribute) you will need to use reflection. However with a little helper it is quite easy:

public static T GetAttribute<T>(this Assembly asm) where T : Attribute {
  if (asm == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("asm"); }
  var attrs = asm.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false);
  if (attrs.Length != 1) {
    throw new ApplicationException(
      String.Format("Found {0} instances of {1} in {2}. Expected 1",
        attrs.Length, typeof(T).Name, asm.FullName));
  }
  return (T)(attrs[0]);
}

and thus given a type, TargetType, from that assembly:

string copyright = typeof(TargetType).Assembly.GetAttribute<AssemblyCopyrightAttribute>().Copyright;

You're just talking about web.config?

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation>
      <assemblies>
        <add assembly="<AssemblyName>, Version=<Version>, Culture=<Culture>, PublicKeyToken=<PublicKeyToken>"/>
      </assemblies>
    </compilation>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

In code-behind, you might do this:

Imports System.Web.Configuration
...
WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("sectionyouwant")
